Preparing for your Mother’s Day Photo Shoot

Here are 6 quick tips to maximize your Mother’s Day Photoshoot

1. Arrive on time
   Set your arrival time to 10-15 minutes before your shoot. This will give you a chance to settle down, relax and take a breath before your session.

2. Touch ups
   Feel free to bring the following items to your shoot:

   • Makeup to touch up

   • Blotting Paper or Oil Control Film to remove excess oil

   • Lip gloss, or lip balm to moisturize your lips

   • Cream to moisturize your hands, arms, legs as needed

   • Hair Accessories: a brush, bobby pins, clips, etc.

3. Stay Hydrated
   Doing a photoshoot on an empty stomach is not recommended.
   Bring a water bottle, juice, and/or (healthy) snacks.

4. Coordinate outfits
   For a mommy and me session (2 people), it’s totally fine to wear a matching outfit. When it comes to matching 4 people and more, the same outfit can be overwhelming to the eye and distract from those beautiful faces.

   • Pick a colour for the outfits and coordinate around those colours
     (Ex: one person wears a yellow dress, someone else can wear a yellow shirt with white shorts,

   • Watch out for heavy patterns

5. Props
   You are welcome to bring props and accessories that will add value to your story and your images.

   • Toys or a stuffed animal for the kids

   • Hats or items that represent you

6. Have Fun
   This day is all about you. What’s most important is this: Remember to have fun and enjoy these precious moments that you’re sharing with your family. If things don’t go exactly as you planned, just laugh it off and be in the moment.
